On Tuesday morning, it was confirmed that L.A. police had cleared Bieber of the charges. The photographer, who was standing in the middle of the roadway, was held at fault. Bieber also claimed that he was completely unaware that he had struck someone with his car before pulling away, TMZ reported.
Meanwhile, after losing his pet monkey to German authorities in March, Bieber has been keeping himself busy with a new pet instead. At the end of May the singer adopted a Persian kitten named Tuts. The kitten, who resembles "Grumpy Cat," has since risen to Internet fame. Just after becoming Bieber's pet, the cat acquired a Twitter account and in less than a month, has collected over 1,300 followers. The cat has also posted multiple pictures insisting that he has "swag."
Other "friends" of the star are less popular however. Kevin Penderson, who once claimed to be Bieber's best friend, filed a restraining order against the singer on June 14th after charging that the singer released Penderson's number to a mob of angry Bieber fans.
